Abstrakt: Background: Evaluating energy expenditure is important for establishing optimal goals for nutrition treatment. However, indirect calorimetry, the reference standard for measuring energy expenditure, is difficult to apply widely in clinical practice.
Objective: To test the consistency of bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) relative to indirect calorimetry for evaluating energy expenditure in critically ill patients.
Methods: A cross-sectional study of 140 critically ill adult patients was conducted. Within 24 hours of a patient being transferred to the intensive care unit, trained researchers assessed the patient's energy expenditure by use of BIA and indirect calorimetry simultaneously. Consistency of the 2 measurements was detected by intraclass correlation coefficients with a 2-way random-effects model. Factors affecting consistency were analyzed.
Results: Median energy expenditure measured by indirect calorimetry was 1430.0 kcal/d (IQR, 1190.5-1650.8 kcal/d). Median energy expenditure measured by BIA was 1407.0 kcal/d (IQR, 1248.5-1563.5 kcal/d). The correlation coefficient between indirect calorimetry and BIA was 0.813 (95% CI, 0.748-0.862; P < .001). The consistency of the 2 measurements was lower in patients with comorbidities than in those without (P = .004).
Conclusions: Results of BIA were highly consistent with indirect calorimetry assessments of energy expenditure in critically ill patients. Few factors except comorbidity affect the accuracy of BIA when assessing energy expenditure. Therefore, as a low-cost, easy-to-use, and noninvasive method, BIA is a valuable clinical tool for assessing energy expenditure in critically ill patients.
